I think the fashion industry can sense a recession, because that's when it always seems to trot out the most idiotic new trends it doesn't expect even rich people to actually buy, and then flimsily relate them to the "era." Such as the jumpsuit. I'm sure someone will link this stupid fad to a veneration for our blue-collar workforce, an ode to simplicity and thrift, and oh look here:

Yes, there are hints of Guantánamo Bay, and the jumpsuit is decidedly old blue-collar, but that's why I find it so delicious... Jumpsuits traditionally work for hard labour because you can forget you've got the thing on and focus on the job.
